Wij hebben een paar problemen met uit huidig energiesysteem. Één groot probleem is de meerderheid van onze elektriciteit komt uit steenkool, en de steenkool is zeer beschadigend aan het milieu waar het wordt ontgonnen, en beschadigt streng onze lucht. Een andere grote energiebron is olie, gebruiken wij meer dan wij toegang tot hebben, zodat bestrijden wij oorlogen over het. De Onafhankelijkheid van de energie is één grote stap in een veiliger land. Wij niet alleen verhogen onze bevolking, verhogen wij de hoeveelheid energie die wij per persoon hebben gebruikt. De middelen wij gebruiken zijn eindig en beschadigend.
Het behoud is een zeer belangrijk aspect van het verbeteren van onze veiligheid en luchtkwaliteit. Beter kunnen wij een gebouw, de minder energie ontwerpen het zal gebruiken en beter van zullen wij allen zijn.
Very briefly, because they then consume no extra resources. Right now an average house in a developed country consumes about 6,000KW/h of electrical energy per year. The world is growing so quickly that literally millions of new houses are built each year, which in turn means much more energy needs to be created, which right now still means fossil fuels which are both finite AND contributing to global warming.
On the other hand, houses that are energy self-reliant use NO net energy. At all. That means a BILLION houses could be built each year and not a single KW/h of extra electrical capacity would be needed.
And the really amazing thing is that energy self-reliant houses are very easy to achieve. In fact I’m sitting in one right now while typing this.
By the way I should stress that we’re only taking about operating energy of houses here. There’s still energy and resources required to build/improve them. But this embodied energy can also be ‘paid off’ over the lifetime of a truly sustainable house.
Hope that helps
